So what's all the fuss about this Affiliate AdvantageTM product? Well, after you've read a bit more, my guess is that you'll be just as excited as the above affiliate program gurus.
For you, the affiliate, the allure of affiliate programs is seductive and simple: "promote for us and earn big bucks!" But can we believe all the hype? Is there really money to be made out there with all of this revenue sharing? Although some of our affiliates make several thousand dollar each month from the affiliate programs to which they belong, is it happening to you?
What you might not realize is you are the victim of an unfair disadvantage that is tying your hands and preventing you from making money. In a moment, I will share with you a discovery that gets rid of this handicap and allows you to increase your affiliate revenue starting today. At no cost to you. Really.
What is this handicap that you didn't even know you had? It's called "cookies" and it's a technology that all affiliate systems, including ours, use to track leads and sales. When your visitor clicks on a banner ad or text link containing your affiliate identification code for our site, our affiliate program creates a cookie on that visitor's computer that tells us that you referred the customer.
The good news is that if the visitor later comes back to CollegeRecruiter.com and posts their resume, we will know that you referred them so you will get your commission. The bad news is that your commissions are dependent on the existence of these cookies.
While it rarely happens, some people occasionally will clear the cookies from their computer. If they do, affiliate merchants have no way of knowing that you referred that visitor so you won't get the commission that you deserve. More often, your visitors may initially click through to our site while they're at work and then come back to our site from their home computer. If they do that, we can't track that you referred them so we can't pay you the commission that you deserve.
Another problem with cookies is that they have set expiration dates. Many merchants set the expiration dates for very short time periods, such as 30 days. I've even seen them set at one day or less! We think that's unfair so our cookies are set to expire in 365 days. If your visitor posts their resume within a year of their initial visit to our site, then you get your commission. However, what if they post their resume 13 months after their initial visit? Wouldn't it be great for you to still get the commission?
A related problem are customers that post their resume right away but their spouse or someone they share their computer with doesn't post their resume for a year or more after the initial click through. Because the cookie expires 365 days after the initial click through, you won't get a commission on those subsequent leads. We want you to get commissions on all of the leads that you send to us because we know that the more money that you make from our program, the more that you'll promote our site.
If you're like most active affiliates, I think you can see that you are most likely referring visitors to sites like CollegeRecruiter.com yet you are not receiving as much money for those referrals as you should. That's wrong, but there's now a product that will overcome all of these problems and help guarantee that you get all of the commissions that you deserve.
The product is Affiliate AdvantageTM by See You Again Software. Here's how it works. At no cost to you or visitors to your site (CollegeRecruiter.com paid the bill), Affiliate AdvantageTM allows your site visitors to place an icon to CollegeRecruiter.com on their Windows Desktop. This is a great service to offer your visitors because the icons link to our web site, providing your visitors with an incredibly easy way to get to our site and, more importantly, return to our site over and over again. Remember, most of the job seekers who use our site visit our site multiple times so every time they click on the icon to come back to our site, their cookie is refreshed and you're ensured that you'll get the commission that you deserve.
Here's the amazing part. Your affiliate link is embedded in the desktop icons. Every time the visitor clicks on the icon to come to our site, the cookie is refreshed. And desktop icons don't expire like cookies so you indefinitely receive commissions from resumes being posted to our site from that computer. This dramatically increases your commissions, gives you a strong incentive to refer more visitors to our site, and allows you to develop a fiercely loyal and profitable long term relationship with CollegeRecruiter.com. See why we want you to use this product?
Oh yeah. Most of our visitors are like visitors of any other site. They need to see an offer several times before they act. When they put one of our icons onto their desktop, they'll see that icon many times every day. Daily exposure to our site will increase the likelihood that they'll post their resume at our site and even tell their spouse or roommates to do the same.
The Windows desktop is the most valuable marketing real estate in Internet history. The desktop is the first screen the user sees when the computer boots up. The desktop is the only persistent screen that the user returns to again and again. Since your affiliate icons are on the Windows Desktop, they will be seen on a daily basis. This consistent marketing means our site will be seen three times -- possibly hundreds of times -- resulting in more resumes being posted! Think of the Desktop as an affiliate cash register and each icon you place as a repeat cash stream for the lifetime of the visitor!
You can easily get your visitors to be voluntary, willing participants who are happy to download your affiliate icon. Here are several effective tactics:
Do you see how easy this is to turn the desktops of visitors to your site into a cash register for you? Think of the power of the desktop. Have you ever installed Quicken? If so, what was on your desktop after the installation? A brand new icon pointing to Quicken, which makes sense, but also icons to banks and other financial institutions. If you were to click on those icons and sign up as a new customer with the bank, then Quicken receives a commission. The makers of Quicken and other software manufacturers understand and take advantage of the incredible power of the desktop. Ever bought a new computer? Did you notice all the icons for AOL and other Internet service providers? They also understand and take advantage of the incredible power of the desktop. Now it is your turn.
Your hands have been tied and your commissions held hostage far too long! Now you can break free and start earning the commissions you dreamed of when you first became an affiliate. It's time to turn the desktop into your very own affiliate cash register...and it won't cost you anything! If you're not yet a member of our affiliate program, we'll instantly approve you.
